Presentation title:
The art of Art in the Metaverse
Presentation abstract:
Sara Popov is a contemporary artist who is heavily influenced by clean form and minimalist design. She started working in traditional clay sculpture before taking this to a new level in 3D character art. She worked in the gaming industry before moving to the Metaverse.
Which in itself has raised some philosophical questions. What is art? What is craft? And more importantly what does this mean in the digital age.
In her fascinating talk we will go on a journey exploring these ideas and how they are already setting up historical challenges of what it means to be an artist or a craftsman. Is this going to be a brave new world opening up opportunities for brilliant creatives? Or is history going to repeat itself and are we looking at a pre-renaissance dark age?
